Marte has played less than 60 games ince his entire career and that was when he got a. cup of coffee in 2012, so I don’t know which player you were looking at. He also is 13% better than Goodwin offensively by OPS+ and gives you elite defense in RF and good stolen base numbers. Starling Marte is a heck of a player.
-
Yeah Escobar and Marte would be perfect fits for the Sox while not requiring that much prospect capital It‘s a no brainer to go after both of them. Then sign Conforto in the offseason ?
-
Going into October without getting help at 2B AND RF would be negligent. We have a special starting staff and a real chance of going all the way. Billy and Goodwin have been stepping up. Same for Burger and Sheets. But you don’t shy away from acquiring a real corner OF because of them.
-
Judging by past returns for rental hitters, Sheets for Escobar woukd be an overpay. Even superstar hitters like JDM got traded for pretty much a bag of balls.
-
Kipnis hasn’t gotten a single at bat for the Braves even though they had several injuries . He has been meh in AAA. If the Sox wanted him they would get him for nothing. Organizations do that all the time to do veterans a solid. Kipnis at this point is not an asset in any shape or form.

ReyLo skipped at AAA: Spot start? Hug watch? stayed tuned

I would be fine with Adolfo for Escobar. Adolfo unfortunately, thanks to terrible luck with injuries, has no future with the Sox and Lopez is like 8th on the SP depth chart. -
Sure, teams wait around for DAYS to announce a finalized trade
-
No offense, but trading any of the aforementioned players for Kipnis would be frankly insane. Guys like him get dealt for cash considerations or a guy who repeats the instructional league for the 4th time.
-
Dude posting here for the first time in a year and dropping cryptic hints? Must be trade season time ?
-
I also always like that deals are 100% done according to fake insiders, but the teams are holding off on announcing a trade because of reasons.

7 inning DH's and extra innings runners going away?
GermanSoxFan replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The only bad thing about this is that they won’t do it immediately edit: They should prohibit teams from scheduling split 7 inning doubleheaders, that’s some grade A bullshit -
Smelley Sharts….I see myself out

gotta love espn completely ignoring perez to talk with a new york player -
And you never know with these guys. Mendick signed for 17k, maybe one of them will have a role on a big league club as unlikely as it is.
-
I expect nobody particularly interesting being drafted today. Maybe they will take one or two big swings tomorrow, but it‘s all about saving money toda from now on.
-
Broadway? OMG Sox suck at drafting again
-
Robert Gasser is a 70 grade pitcher name. He better throw hard though
-
The fact that competetive balance picks exist is still ridiculous
-
I like the strategy since if all goes well these guys will be coming up when the core pieces enter their walk years or will become really expensive
-
I went back and looked through old draft threads. Man, we were really excited about Trey Michalczewski
-
Wood reminds me or a left handed version of Kyle Blanks, if I am allowed to channel ,y inner caulfield. Huge raw power but a lot of questions whether he will ever make enough contact.
-
Jobe scares the crap out of me. Dude screams AA flameout to me
-
Mlb network with a top grade production. Nothing like having ymca blaring over the interview
-
That dragonfly shit they pulled on the broadcast completely freaked me out. Thought I had a giant bug in my living room.
